Our first target is the Razr's lower rear cover. Behind the fancy folding façade, this is still a smartphone like any other, so we're guessing a hot iOpener is our ticket in.

Just a little heat does the trick! We're able to wedge an opening pick in there and begin our journey.

We're grateful for the innovations of modern smartphones, but boy, would we love to see the slide-off plastic or metal access panels of yesteryear.

Once all the glue is sliced, the cover can wiggle free. But wait! Eagle-eyed viewers may spot the fingerprint sensor cable next to the home button, just waiting to be torn by an eager disassembler.

Without repair documentation, booby traps like these can turn a simple fix into a DIY nightmare.
